Fun Is Just Your Mindset- Reflections On St. Patrick’s Day!

St. Patty’s Day is all about having fun. Each year I gulp down excessive green beer while enjoying the Irish songs and doing the Irish jigs with my buddies draped in the shamrock-green attire and tall leprechaun hat.

Everything is the same this year, I am so looking forward to the fun on Saturday, March 17th. The only difference is that Aaliyah has replaced the green beer with her special variety of green smoothies.

“We believe in indulgences, you cannot spoil all the fun in the name of health.” I argued. She looked at me and stated calmly. “Bob, don’t be a hypocrite, you said the other day that fun is just about your mindset. Currently your health is what I am concerned about so you have no options.”

I knew she was right. I was having a lot of bloating and acidity lately which caused me many sleepless nights. I reflected on the statement, fun is just in our mind. It is independent of what we are consuming or who we are with. So let’s experiment with the truth.

I challenged my friends and they were all game for it.
